These early chocolate recipes were used by Rowntree’s and Terry’s to create the most exquisite chocolate boxes. We will explore the science of sugar boiling and the crystallization process to be able to effectively create a quality, smooth fondant that can be combined with many beautiful, natural ingredients.

This workshop is part of our Chocolate Masterclass Series, it can be enjoyed on its own or as part of a series of classes. Previous knowledge will not be necessary so it's a perfect introduction to the mechanics of working with chocolate, especially for any for any cake maker that wants to understand more about how chocolate works.

During the workshop you will:

Learn basic sugar boiling techniques to be able to make classic fondant

You will work with a range of natural flavours to be able to create your filled fondant fancy creams

You will work with tempered chocolates to mould and create your filled fancy fondants

By the end of this workshop you will be able to effectively boil and crystalise sugar to create your desired consistency.

You will make a variety of flavours to create your filled chocolates for you to take home.

You will beautifully wrap your creations to take home and enjoy

Go home with recipes and your newly found chocolate knowledge

Take a journey through the world of chocolate, discovering how chocolate becomes chocolatey and how it started off originally being used as money. We're very pleased the Aztecs persevered with the acidic tasting little bean, and you'll understand why when we show you how chocolate was originally created into something gorgeously sweet and creamy as we know it today.

If you're feeling very adventurous you'll even taste cocoa liquor, cocoa nibs and the raw cacao beans themselves as you learn your own chocolate favourite, you'll then learn how this wonderful ingredient is made into the chocolate bar we think of today. During the process you will have a chance to come up with your own chocolatey creation and make your own little chocolate bar using whatever ingredients you fancy.

The cost of this workshop is £9.50 per adult and £5.50 per child (aged 5 - 15) under 5's free.
